It was a challenge, yes.

I'm listening to "I Could Have Lied" again as I type this but it just doesn't do it for me. The classic rock-ish guitar playing is probably the biggest turn off for me. As far the suggestion that I not listen to the album for the vocals goes: for better or worse Anthony Kiedis and Flea are the Chili Peppers, ignoring Kiedis is like ignoring half the band.

Well, if you like I can see why you'd be happy to listen to it. I don't like it though so I wasn't.

while i've heard individual songs here and there over the years i don't remember the last time i sat and listened to the album from start to finish.
You should totally do your own take on it. I'd love to read it! Post it in this thread if you want. I'll change the thread title to "Two old bastards..."
